Attribute validation error for tag CFQUERY

[bbholdem]

I have a CF application that's running fine on a shared host. I now have a VPS running version of CF 9. When I try to use this on the VPS, I get the following error:

Attribute validation error for tag CFQUERY.

The value of the attribute datasource, which is currently '', is invalid.

The datasource is being set in application.cfc, and again works just fine in the shared environment.

The only differences is the shared is running on Windows, and the VPS is Linux. Also, the Windows is running version 9,0,1,274733 and the Linux is 9,0,0,251028

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If the file in question really is called "application.cfc" then that is your problem.  It's supposed to be "Application.cfc".

That did it. Thank you so much!

The cause of the error is obvious. Somewhere in your application, the cfquery tag is used as follows, with an empty string as datasource:

<cfquery datasource="">

</cfquery>

That is a mistake. The error message should tell you where that occurs.

It'll be what Adam says - as it's linux it's case sensitive, so hasn't run your application.cfc and set the datasource.
